Phylogenetic analysis of the FliC protein of E. gallinarum and E. casseliflavus. The FliC sequences of selected strains (Supplementary Table S3) were aligned with MUSCLE59. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the maximum likelihood method based on the Le_Gascuel_2008 model61, using MEGA7 software60. Statistical support (above 60%) was estimated with bootstraps and is indicated at branch nodes. Well-defined clades are indicated. The type strain Lactobacillus mali DSM20444 was used as an outgroup for analyses. The origins of strains are indicated where the information was available on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
